A memorial service to pay homage to the school president late Rani Chandra Raj laxmi Rana was held at Cambrian Hall in the school auditorium on Saturday. It was attended among others by the members of the family, members of the board of trustees, friends and relatives, staff and students of Classes XI and XII. The programme started with the speech of Dr Rishi Shumshere JB Rana who reminisced on how the school had been started and how it had been led to the height with Rani Chandra Raj laxmi Rana at the helm for 30 years. Krishna Shumshere JB Rana paid rich tribute to the president of the school and described her as a traditionalist at heart with flexibility, social and political skills. The principal, Dr SC Biala in his address said that she had never surrendered but looked after the school single- handedly for 30 years with a lot of grit, dedication, commitment and a missionary zeal. Two minutes’ silence was observed in the memory of the departed soul.
